“Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” -John 6:35
As I was reading the verse for today here on Talk Jesus I noticed how those verses were directly related to something that our Lord put on my mind and heart a few nights ago. There two types of foods we consume...one being the kind that nourishes and sustains the human body...it gives us vitamins and minerals and gives it energy to keep on going and then there is the spiritual food we need to feed our souls. The food that sustains, strengthens and gives life like no other food possibly can...this food comes from Jesus Himself. We consume this food when we read His written word and we spend time with our Lord. This food is just as if not more important than the food we consume for our physical bodies. If don't partake of the spiritual food we need we become weak and our souls become in danger of dying. Jesus Himself told us He is the bread of life and if we come to Him we will not hunger anymore and if we believe in Him we will never thirst...now there is some pure water...the purest we can get...Jesus our water of Life. Jesus also said while being tempted in the desert by satan in Matthew chapter 4 verse 4 that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
Are we getting our daily dose of Jesus our food and water of life? Are we reading His word as we should and setting aside time for Him like we should? Are feeding our spiritual self as good as we are our physical selves? I want to encourage you to set aside time to read the very word of God and spend time with Him daily...it is the best food and water you will ever consume because this is the food and water of life eternal.
